Republican Party of Georgia

The Republican Party of Georgia is a liberal political party in the Republic of Georgia that was founded on 21 May 1978. The party emerged as an underground political organization in the Georgian SSR of the Soviet Union, campaigning for an independent Georgia, human rights, and a free market economy. The Soviet KGB arrested the party's leaders between 1983 and 1984, and they were imprisoned on charges of anti-Soviet campaign and propaganda. The party became a major center-right party in post-Soviet Georgia, although it held no representation in Parliament as of 2018.
